Abstract

Measles has long plagued human societies. Measles vaccines are highly effective in preventing this disease, but there are striking inequities in vaccination rates between developed and less-developed countries. Scholars have long argued that foreign investment dependence explains global inequities in development outcomes more broadly. The author argues that debt dependence is what matters for such empirical observations. He evaluates his argument using fixed effects panel regression models of 97 less-developed countries from 1990–2019. The empirical evidence supports his argument.

解释麻疹疫苗接种率的全球不平等

麻疹长期困扰着人类社会。麻疹疫苗在预防这种疾病方面非常有效，但发达国家和欠发达国家之间在疫苗接种率方面存在着明显的不平等。长期以来，学者们一直认为，对外国投资的依赖更广泛地解释了全球发展成果的不平等。作者认为，债务依赖是这种实证观察的关键。他使用固定效应面板回归模型评估了97个欠发达国家1990年至2019年的观点。经验证据支持他的论点。
